And its gone!.... for now....

I'm certainly interested in what they've got in store for it. I liked the core concept, but it felt really half baked with how open it was.

It's coming back, but I feel like Hearts of Darkness just sucked all the air out of
people testing the three Infernal Masters

Worse than Butcher1 fighting against Butcher3?

In a character rich game, this was always going to come up.

Empire of the Apes stuff

Ugh.... I really need to get caught up on monpoc.

There’s really no controlling fluff where opposing armies are involved.

I always liked the ape troops.

I wonder how big these will be. They may work well in 15mm games!

Nice temple. Wish it came out when it was supposed to.

The base is 30mm square

Some stuff seen on facebook from GAMA

I'm liking all the Infernals stuff I'm seeing from PP!

I'm trying to figure out what's on the cover of that campaign box.

The campaign Box intrigues me. Even more so if they have a web supplement or purchasable PDF that gives some RPG stuff for it.

Also Riot Quest might actually be a game to play. Like PP's stuff and the setting but don't care for the main game.

Infernal




I think he’s fighting Constance Blaze but I’m not sure.

Is Riot Quest freely inspired from League of Legends? o.o
I'd love it!

Wouldn't be surprised if it follows the whole 3 abilities and an ultimate style of character action game.

Although I really hope they branch out from the Iron Kingdoms more, not because IK isn't good, but rather it's healthier if PP branches out more.

Everything they’ve tried to branch out into fails. Granted every IK spin off fails too... Really hoping the current edition of MonPoc bucks the trend. Riot Quest otherwise will benefit from the RQ models having rules for or being able to be used as proxies in Warmachine, so they can still benefit from that established market.

I'mma just say it: Instead of all these LOL-esque pseudo-MOBA games on the market that do nothing for me, I would be super interested in an actual League minigame. I retired from the game a few years back but miss the heroes and lore and whatnot. Just really not turned on by colorful rehashes trying to tap that market.

MonPoc 2.0 continues to be pretty cool to me, but also continues to have zero presence locally, product or gamers

Some board games got kickstarted and whatnot.

You could also play Artifact on Steam, which is Dota2 CCG.

League (and other mobas) has some good/fun character concepts. I'm
not particularly interested in the game, but I've always liked their characters.

I think my deal is that I'm really not interested in derivatives or alternate MOBAs, I sort of stumbled into League and spent three years really growing into that cast of characters, which I miss more than the game itself (I went back about a year ago, in a moment* of boozy weakness. Was mostly reminded why I left the game / that I suck now). So I just want Rito to license out that IP into a decent minigame with above average minis and let me throw my money at them again

*moment, as in I had to update for an hour, which was fine because I had drinking to do

I got a kick from their "social media engagement" on Infernals. Not saying people aren't excited for them; just curious what percentage was people losing their minds over Hearts of Darkness.

Riot Quest is curious, but they keep using chaotic in a way that concerns me.

I've been collecting the buildings for MonPoc but I really need to get playing. I mostly just fell behind on painting and can't decide what I actually want. The answer is everything, but I really don't want a giant collection of units to never get around to painting.

I hear you. That's very much where I'll be should anything happen to warmachine or how
most of dakka will be if something happened to 40k.

You and me both, buddy. I'm all in on MocPoc. It's not my favorite miniatures game, but it is one that I end up playing a lot, I always enjoy it when I do, and I've been looking forward to every release (I need those apes)... which I guess is a pretty strong argument for it deserving to be my favorite miniatures game...

But I think it must be doing pretty well. It seems to go out of stock pretty regularly and I've had to shop at multiple stores just to pick up everything. Seems to be doing better than their Warmachine releases, at least.

Stumbled on these yesterday, though I'm guessing there are other people making replacement bases for MonPoc2: http://www.brokenegggames.com/monsterpocalypse/monsterpocalypse-alternate-color-bases.html

Neoprene matts announced for MonPoc on the livestream earlier for anyone that missed it.

Not.
Soon.
Enough.

Should have launched with boardgame style boards.

Out of vague interest - as I'm not currently planning on picking up MonPoc, but I'm working on avoiding saying never - what did it launch with?

Folding paper maps. Would have preferred boardgame style boards over neoprene, easier to transport multiples, but either is better than what they have now.

I'd be surprised if they put boardgame maps in the starters. Plus
it becomes more difficult to do prize support if you don't use
the paper maps.

I'm currently happy with a top loader and then neoprene since
there's nowhere nearby running the leagues

I dig the neoprene With MonPoc 1 I used a sheet of poster frame plastic over the paper mats, was ok but involved carrying around a sheet of hard plastic
